The ADC12QS065 is a low power, high performance CMOS
4-channel analog-to-digital converter with LVDS serialized
outputs. The ADC12QS065 digitizes signals to 12 bits resolution at sampling rates up to 65 MSPS while consuming a
typical 200 mW/ADC from a single 3.0V supply. Sampled
data is transformed into high speed serial LVDS output data
streams. Clock and frame LVDS pairs aid in data capture.
The ADC12QS065’s six differential pairs transmit data over
backplanes or cable and also make PCB design easier. In
addition, the reduced cable, PCB trace count, and connector
size tremendously reduce cost.
No missing codes performance is guaranteed over the full
operating temperature range. The pipeline ADC architecture
achieves > 11 Effective Bits over the entire Nyquist band at
65 MSPS.
The ADC12QS065 output pins can be put into a high impedance state. The serializer PLL can lock to frequencies between 20 MHz and 65 MHz.
When not converting, power consumption can be reduced by
pulling the PD (Power Down) pin high, placing the converter
into a low power state where it typically consumes less than
3 mW total, and from which recovery is less than 5 ms. The
ADC12QS065’s speed, resolution and single supply operation makes it well suited for a variety of applications in
ultrasound, imaging, video and communications. Operating
over the industrial (-40˚C to +85˚C) temperature range, the
ADC12QS065 is available in a 64 pin TQFP package.

VIN1VIN2VIN3VIN4-
Differential analog input pins. With a 1.0V reference voltage the differential
full-scale input signal level is 2.0 VP-P with each input pin voltage centered on a
common mode voltage, VCOM. The negative input pins may be connected to
VCOM for single-ended operation, but a differential input signal is required for
best performance.
24
VREF
This pin is the reference select pin and the external reference input, used in
conjunction with the INTREF pin.
If the INTREF pin is set to VA , this pin is used as an internal reference select.
With VREF = VA, the internal 1.0V reference is selected. With VREF=AGND, the
internal 0.5V reference is selected.
If the INTREF pin is set to AGND, then this pin is the input for an external
reference. A voltage in the range of 0.8 to 1.2V may be applied to this pin. VREF
should be bypassed to AGND with a 1.0 µF capacitor when an external
reference is used.
59
22
VREFT12
VREFT34
Top ADC Reference. This pin has to be driven to 1.9V if REFPD is high.
If REFPD is low, bypass this pin with a 0.1 µF low ESR capacitor to AGND and
a 10 µF low ESR capacitor to VREFB.
58
23
VCOM12
VCOM34
This is an analog output which can be used as a common mode voltage for the
inputs. It should be bypassed to AGND with a minimum of a 1.0 µF low ESR
capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor. Pin 23 may also be used as a 1.5V
temperature stable reference voltage.
60
21
VREFB12
VREFB34
Bottom ADC Reference. This pin has to be driven to 0.9V if REFPD is high.
If REFPD is low, bypass this pin with a 0.1 µF low ESR capacitor to AGND and
a 10 µF low ESR capacitor to VREFT.
32,49
VREG
These are bypass pins for the internal 1.8V regulator. Each pin should be
bypassed to AGND with a 1.0 µF capacitor
DIGITAL I/O
This pin acts as either a Non-Inverting Differential Clock input or a CMOS clock
input. If CLKB is used as the Inverting Clock input, CLK will act as the
Non-Inverting Clock input. If CLKB is tied to AGND, CLK will act as a CMOS
clock input. ADC power consumption will increase by about 40mW if a
Differential Clock is used.

INTREF
Internal reference enable input. When this pin is high, two internal reference
choices are selectable through the VREF pin. When this pin is low, an external
reference must be applied to VREF (pin 24).

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = AGND = DGND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, VIN < AGND, or VIN > VA), the current at that pin should be limited to 25 mA. The
50 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 25 mA to two.
Note 4: The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150˚C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by TJmax, the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (-JA), and the ambient temperature, (TA), and can be calculated using the formula PDMAX = (TJmax - TA )/θJA. In the 64-pin
TQFP, θJA is 50˚C/W, so PDMAX = 2 Watts at 25˚C and 800 mW at the maximum operating ambient temperature of 85˚C. Note that the power consumption of this
device under normal operation will typically be about 900 mW. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the device is
operated in a severe fault condition (e.g. when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Obviously,
such conditions should always be avoided.
Note 5: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through 0Ω.
Note 6: The 235˚C reflow temperature refers to infrared reflow. For Vapor Phase Reflow (VPR), the following Conditions apply: Maintain the temperature at the top
of the package body above 183˚C for a minimum 60 seconds. The temperature measured on the package body must not exceed 220˚C. Only one excursion above
183˚C is allowed per reflow cycle.

Note 7: The inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes above VA or below GND will not damage this device, provided current is limited per
(Note 3). However, errors in the A/D conversion can occur if the input goes above VA or below GND by more than 100 mV. As an example, if VA is +3.3V, the full-scale
input voltage must be ≤+3.4V to ensure accurate conversions.
20106807
Note 8: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that |VA–VD| ≤ 100 mV and separate bypass capacitors are used at each power supply pin.
Note 9: With the test condition for VREF = +1.0V (2VP-P differential input), the 12-bit LSB is 488 µV.

ADC12QS065
MSB (MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the
largest value or weight. Its value is one half of full scale.
NEGATIVE FULL SCALE ERROR is the difference between
the actual first code transition and its ideal value of 1⁄2 LSB
above negative full scale.
Specification Definitions
APERTURE DELAY is the time after the rising edge of the
clock to when the input signal is acquired or held for conversion.
APERTURE JITTER (APERTURE UNCERTAINTY) is the
variation in aperture delay from sample to sample. Aperture
jitter manifests itself as noise in the output.
OFFSET ERROR is the difference between the two input
voltages [(VIN+) – (VIN−)] required to cause a transition from
code 2047 to 2048.
CLOCK DUTY CYCLE is the ratio of the time during one
cycle that a repetitive digital waveform is high to the total
time of one period. The specification here refers to the ADC
clock input signal.
COMMON MODE VOLTAGE (VCM) is the common d.c. voltage applied to both input terminals of the ADC.
OUTPUT DELAY is the time delay after the rising edge of
the clock before the data update is presented at the output
pins.
OVER RANGE RECOVERY TIME is the time required after
VIN goes from a specified voltage out of the normal input
range to a specified voltage within the normal input range
and the converter makes a conversion with its rated accuracy.
PIPELINE DELAY (LATENCY) See CONVERSION LATENCY.
CONVERSION LATENCY is the number of clock cycles
between initiation of conversion and when that data is presented to the output driver stage. Data for any given sample
is available at the output pins the Pipeline Delay plus the
Output Delay after the sample is taken. New data is available
at every clock cycle, but the data lags the conversion by the
pipeline delay.
POSITIVE FULL SCALE ERROR is the difference between
the actual last code transition and its ideal value of 11⁄2 LSB
below positive full scale.
CROSSTALK is coupling of energy from one channel into
the other channel.
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of
the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB.
EFFECTIVE NUMBER OF BITS (ENOB, or EFFECTIVE
BITS) is another method of specifying Signal-to-Noise and
Distortion or SINAD. ENOB is defined as (SINAD - 1.76) /
6.02 and says that the converter is equivalent to a perfect
ADC of this (ENOB) number of bits.
FULL POWER BANDWIDTH is a measure of the frequency
at which the reconstructed output fundamental drops 3 dB
below its low frequency value for a full scale input.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the
transfer function. It can be calculated as:
Gain Error = Positive Full Scale Error − Negative Full
Scale Error
Gain Error can also be separated into Positive Gain Error
and Negative Gain Error, which are:
PGE = Positive Full Scale Error − Offset Error
NGE = Offset Error − Negative Full Scale Error
GAIN ERROR MATCHING is the difference in gain errors
between the two converters divided by the average gain of
the converters.
INTEGRAL NON LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the
deviation of each individual code from a line drawn from
negative full scale (1⁄2 LSB below the first code transition)
through positive full scale (1⁄2 LSB above the last code
transition). The deviation of any given code from this straight
line is measured from the center of that code value.
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION (IMD) is the creation of
additional spectral components as a result of two sinusoidal
frequencies being applied to the ADC input at the same time.
It is defined as the ratio of the power in the intermodulation
products to the total power in the original frequencies. IMD is
usually expressed in dBFS.
LSB (LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT) is the bit that has the
smallest value or weight of all bits. This value is VREF/2n,
where “n” is the ADC resolution in bits, which is 12 in the
case of the ADC12QS065.
MISSING CODES are those output codes that will never
appear at the ADC outputs. The ADC12QS065 is guaranteed
not to have any missing codes.
www.national.com
POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR) is a measure of how well the ADC rejects a change in the power
supply voltage. For the ADC12QS065, PSRR1 is the ratio of
the change in Full-Scale Error that results from a change in
the d.c. power supply voltage, expressed in dB. PSRR2 is a
measure of how well an a.c. signal riding upon the power
supply is rejected at the output.
SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO (SNR) is the ratio, expressed in
dB, of the rms value of the input signal to the rms value of the
sum of all other spectral components below one-half the
sampling frequency, not including harmonics or d.c.
SIGNAL TO NOISE PLUS DISTORTION (S/N+D or SINAD)
Is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms value of the input
signal to the rms value of all of the other spectral components below half the clock frequency, including harmonics
but excluding d.c.
SPURIOUS FREE DYNAMIC RANGE (SFDR) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the rms values of the input
signal and the peak spurious signal, where a spurious signal
is any signal present in the output spectrum that is not
present at the input.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the ratio, expressed in dB, of the rms total of the first nine harmonic
levels at the output to the level of the fundamental at the
output. THD is calculated as
where f1 is the RMS power of the fundamental (output)
frequency and f2 through f10 are the RMS power of the first
9 harmonic frequencies in the output spectrum.
SECOND HARMONIC DISTORTION (2ND HARM) is the
difference expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the
input frequency at the output and the power in its 2nd
harmonic level at the output.
THIRD HARMONIC DISTORTION (3RD HARM) is the difference, expressed in dB, between the RMS power in the
input frequency at the output and the power in its 3rd harmonic level at the output.

ADC12QS065
Smaller capacitor values than those specified will allow
faster recovery from the power down mode, but may result in
degraded noise performance. DO NOT LOAD these pins.
Loading any of these pins may result in performance degradation.
Functional Description
Operating on a single +3.0V supply, the ADC12QS065 uses
a pipeline architecture and has error correction circuitry to
help ensure maximum performance. The differential analog
input signal is digitized to 12 bits. The user has the choice of
using an internal 1.0 Volt or 0.5 Volt stable reference, or
using an external reference. Any external reference is buffered on-chip to ease the task of driving that pin.
The nominal voltages for the reference bypass pins are as
follows:
VCOM = 1.5 V
VREFT = VCOM + VREF / 2
VREFB = VCOM − VREF / 2
Sampled data is transformed into high speed serial output
LVDS data streams. Clock and frame LVDS pairs aid in data
capture. The ADC12QS065’s six differential pairs transmit
data over backplanes or cable and also make PCB design
easier.
The output word rate is the same as the clock frequency,
which can be between 20 MSPS and 65 MSPS (typical) with
fully specified performance at 65 MSPS. The analog input for
all channels are acquired at the rising edge of the clock and
the digital data for a given sample is delayed by the pipeline
for 9 clock cycles.
User choice of an on-chip or external reference voltage is
provided. When INTREF (pin 57) is high, the VREF pin selects the internal reference voltage. The internal 1.0 Volt
reference is in use when the the VREF pin is connected to VA.
When the VREF pin is connected to AGND, the internal 0.5
Volt reference is in use. When INTREF (pin 57) is low, a
voltage in the range of 0.8V to 1.2V is applied to the VREF pin
and that is used for the voltage reference. When an external
reference is used, the VREF pin should be bypassed to
ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor close to the reference input
pin. There is no need to bypass the VREF pin when the
internal reference is used.
Applications Information
1.0 OPERATING CONDITIONS
We recommend that the following conditions be observed for
operation of the ADC12QS065:
2.7V ≤ VA ≤ 3.6V
VD = VA = VDR
20 MHz ≤ fCLK ≤ 65 MHz
0.8V ≤ VREF ≤ 1.2V (for an external reference)
0.5V ≤ VCM ≤ 2.0V
2.2 Signal Inputs
The ADC12QS065 has 4 input channels. They are labelled
VIN 1+ and VIN1− , VIN 2+ and VIN2− , VIN 3+ and VIN3− , VIN
4+ and VIN4− . The input signal, VIN, is defined as
VIN = (VIN+) – (VIN−)
Figure 2 shows the expected input signal range. Note that
the common mode input voltage, VCM, should be in the
range of 0.5V to 2.0V with a typical value of 1.5V.
The peaks of the individual input signals should each never
exceed 2.6V to maintain THD and SINAD performance.
The ADC12QS065 performs best with a differential input
signal with each input centered around a common mode
voltage, VCM. The peak-to-peak voltage swing at each analog input pin should not exceed the value of the reference
voltage or the output data will be clipped.
The two input signals should be exactly 180˚ out of phase
from each other and of the same amplitude. For single
frequency inputs, angular errors result in a reduction of the
effective full scale input. For complex waveforms, however,
angular errors will result in distortion.
2.0 ANALOG INPUTS
There is one reference input pin, VREF, which is used to
select an internal reference, or to supply an external reference. The ADC12QS065 has four analog signal input pairs,
VIN 1+ and VIN 1-, VIN 2+ and VIN 2- , VIN 3+ and VIN 3-, VIN
4+ and VIN 4- . Each pair of pins forms a differential input
pair. There are two VREG pins for decoupling the internal
1.8V regulator.
2.1 Reference Pins
The ADC12QS065 is designed to operate with an internal
1.0V or 0.5V reference, or an external 1.0V reference, but
performs well with external reference voltages in the range
of 0.8V to 1.2V. Lower reference voltages will decrease the
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the ADC12QS065. Increasing
the reference voltage (and the input signal swing) beyond
1.2V may degrade THD for a full-scale input, especially at
higher input frequencies.
It is important that all grounds associated with the reference
voltage and the analog input signal make connection to the
ground plane at a single, quiet point to minimize the effects
of noise currents in the ground path.
The six Reference Bypass Pins (VREFT12, VREFB12,
VCOM12, VREFT34, VREFB34 and VCOM34) are made
available for bypass purposes. All these pins should each be
bypassed to ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor. A 10 µF capacitor should be placed between the VREFT12 and VREFB12
pins and between the VREFT34 and VREFB34 pins, as
shown in Figure 4. This configuration is necessary to avoid
reference oscillation, which could result in reduced SFDR
and/or SNR.

FIGURE 2. Expected Input Signal Range
For single frequency sine waves the full scale error in LSB
can be described as approximately
EFS = 4096 ( 1 - sin (90˚ + dev))
12
(Continued)
Where dev is the angular difference in degrees between the
two signals having a 180˚ relative phase relationship to each
other (see Figure 3). Drive the analog inputs with a source
impedance less than 100Ω.
FIGURE 3. Angular Errors Between the Two Input
Signals Will Reduce the Output Level or Cause
Distortion
For differential operation, each analog input pin of the differential pair should have a peak-to-peak voltage just below the
reference voltage, VREF, be 180 degrees out of phase with
each other and be centered around VCM.
2.2.1 Single-Ended Operation
Performance with differential input signals is better than with
single-ended signals. For this reason, single-ended operation is not recommended. However, if single ended-operation
is required and the resulting performance degradation is
acceptable, one of the analog inputs should be connected to
the d.c. mid point voltage of the driven input. The peak-topeak differential input signal at the driven input pin should be
twice the reference voltage to maximize SNR and SINAD
performance (Figure 2b). For example, set VREF to 0.5V,
bias VIN− to 1.0V and drive VIN+ with a signal range of 0.5V
to 1.5V.
Because very large input signal swings can degrade distortion performance, better performance with a single-ended
input can be obtained by reducing the reference voltage
when maintaining a full-range output. Table 1 and Table 2
indicate the input to output relationship of the ADC12QS065.

The input common mode voltage, VCM, should be in the
range of 0.5V to 2.0V and be a value such that the peak
excursions of the analog signal does not go more negative
than ground or more positive than 2.6V. The nominal VCM
should generally be about 1.5V, but VCOM12 or VCOM34
can be used as a VCM source.

2.2.2 Driving the Analog Inputs
The VIN+ and the VIN− inputs of the ADC12QS065 consist of
an analog switch followed by a switched-capacitor amplifier.
The capacitance seen at the analog input pins changes with
the clock level, appearing as 8 pF when the clock is low, and
7 pF when the clock is high.
As the internal sampling switch opens and closes, current
pulses occur at the analog input pins, resulting in voltage
spikes at the signal input pins. As a driving amplifier attempts
to counteract these voltage spikes, a damped oscillation
may appear at the ADC analog input. Do not attempt to filter
out these pulses. Rather, use amplifiers to drive the
ADC12QS065 input pins that are able to react to these
puses and settle before the switch opens and another
sample is taken. The LMH6702 LMH6628, LMH6622 and the
LMH6655 are good amplifiers for driving the ADC12QS065.
To help isolate the pulses at the ADC input from the amplifier
output, use RCs at the inputs, as can be seen in Figure 4 .
These components should be placed close to the ADC inputs because the input pins of the ADC is the most sensitive
part of the system and this is the last opportunity to filter that
input.
For Nyquist applications the RC pole should be at the ADC
sample rate. The ADC input capacitance in the sample mode
should be considered when setting the RC pole. For wideband undersampling applications, the RC pole should be set
at about 1.5 to 2 times the maximum input frequency to
maintain a linear delay response.
A single-ended to differential conversion circuit is shown in
Figure 5. Table 3 gives resistor values for that circuit to
provide input signals in a range of 1.0V ± 0.5V at each of the
differential input pins of the ADC12QS065.

3.3 PD
(Continued)
The PD pin, when high, holds the ADC12QS065 in a powerdown mode to conserve power when the converter is not
being used. The power consumption in this state is 3 mW
with a 65MHz clock.. The output data pins are undefined and
the data in the pipeline is corrupted while in the power down
mode.
The Power Down Mode Exit Cycle time is determined by the
value of the components on the reference bypass pins 58,
59, 60, 21, 22 and 23 and is as listed in the Electrical Tables
with the recommended components on the VREFT, VREFB
and VCOM reference bypass pins. These capacitors loose
their charge in the Power Down mode and must be recharged by on-chip circuitry before conversions can be accurate. Smaller capacitor values allow slightly faster recovery from the power down mode, but can result in a reduction
in SNR, SINAD and ENOB performance.
2.3 Internal Regulator
The ADC12QS065 has an internal 1.8V regulator. The
VREG pins (pins 32 and 48) should each be bypassed to
AGND with a 1.0 µF capacitor.
3.0 DIGITAL INPUTS
Digital TTL/CMOS compatible inputs consist of CLK, DEN,
PD, REFPD, and INTREF.
3.1 CLK
The CLK signal controls the timing of the sampling process.
Drive the clock input with a stable, low jitter clock signal in
the range of 20 MHz to 65 MHz with rise and fall times of 2
ns or less. The trace carrying the clock signal should be as
short as possible and should not cross any other signal line,
analog or digital, not even at 90˚.
The CLK signal also drives an internal state machine. If the
CLK is interrupted, or its frequency too low, the charge on
internal capacitors can dissipate to the point where the accuracy of the output data will degrade. This is what limits the
minimum sample rate.
The clock line should be terminated at its source in the
characteristic impedance of that line. Take care to maintain a
constant clock line impedance throughout the length of the
line. Refer to Application Note AN-905 for information on
setting characteristic impedance.
It is highly desirable that the the source driving the ADC CLK
pin only drive that pin. However, if that source is used to
drive other things, each driven pin should be a.c. terminated
with a series RC to ground, such that the resistor value is
equal to the characteristic impedance of the clock line and
the capacitor value is
3.4 REFPD
When high, the REFPD pin will power down the internal
reference. With REFPD high, user must drive VREFT12,
VREFT34 and VREFB12 & VREFB34 externally. With
REFPD low, VREFT12, VREFT34, VREFB12 and VREFB34
are driven internally.
3.5 INTREF
When INTREF is connected to VD , two internal reference
choices are selectable through the VREF pin (pin 24). When
INTREF is connected to DGND, an external reference must
be applied to VREF.Section 2.1 Reference Pins
4.0 OUTPUTS
The ADC12QS065 has four Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Data Output pairs. Valid data is present at these
outputs while the DEN pin is high and the PD pin is low. The
OUTCLK and FRAME pins aid in data capture.
LVDS signals provide a high level of immunity to common
mode noise. The differential data signals consist of two
400mVpp signals that are 180 degrees out of phase. They
should be terminated with a 100Ω resistor near the receiver.
where tPD is the signal propagation rate down the clock line,
"L" is the line length and ZO is the characteristic impedance
of the clock line. This termination should be as close as
possible to the ADC clock pin but beyond it as seen from the
clock source. Typical tPD is about 150 ps/inch (60 ps/cm) on
FR-4 board material. The units of "L" and tPD should be the
same (inches or centimeters).
3.2 DEN
When the DEN pin is high, the LVDS outputs are in the active
state. When low, the output pins are in a high impedance
state. The ADC12QS065 will continue to convert whether the
pin is high or low, but the output can not be read while the pin
is low.

FIGURE 5. Differential Op-Amp Drive Circuit of Figure 4
5.0 POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
The power supply pins should be bypassed with a 10 µF
capacitor and with a 0.1 µF ceramic chip capacitor within a
centimeter of each power pin. Leadless chip capacitors are
preferred because they have low series inductance.
As is the case with all high-speed converters, the
ADC12QS065 is sensitive to power supply noise. Accordingly, the noise on the analog supply pin should be kept
below 100 mVP-P.
No pin should ever have a voltage on it that is in excess of
the supply voltages, not even on a transient basis. Be especially careful of this during power turn on and turn off.
The LVDS output pairs should be routed with a 100Ω impedance trace, and should be terminated at the receiver with a
100Ω resistor.
Since digital switching transients are composed largely of
high frequency components, total ground plane copper
weight will have little effect upon the logic-generated noise.
This is because of the skin effect. Total surface area is more
important than is total ground plane volume.
Generally, analog and digital lines should cross each other at
90˚ to avoid crosstalk. To maximize accuracy in high speed,
high resolution systems, however, avoid crossing analog and
digital lines altogether. It is important to keep clock lines as
short as possible and isolated from ALL other lines, including
other digital lines. Even the generally accepted 90˚ crossing
should be avoided with the clock line as even a little coupling
can cause problems at high frequencies. This is because
other lines can introduce jitter into the clock line, which can
lead to degradation of SNR. Also, the high speed clock can
introduce noise into the analog chain.
Best performance at high frequencies and at high resolution
is obtained with a straight signal path. That is, the signal path
through all components should form a straight line wherever
possible.
Be especially careful with the layout of inductors. Mutual
inductance can change the characteristics of the circuit in
which they are used. Inductors should not be placed side by
side, even with just a small part of their bodies beside each
other.
The analog input should be isolated from noisy signal traces
to avoid coupling of spurious signals into the input. Any
external component (e.g., a filter capacitor) connected between the converter’s input pins and ground or to the refer-
6.0 LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Proper grounding and proper routing of all signals are essential to ensure accurate conversion. Maintaining separate
analog and digital areas of the board, with the ADC12QS065
between these areas, is required to achieve specified performance.
The ground return for the data outputs (DRGND) carries the
ground current for the output drivers. The output current can
exhibit high transients that could add noise to the conversion
process. To prevent this from happening, the DRGND pins
should NOT be connected to system ground in close proximity to any of the ADC12QS065’s other ground pins.
Capacitive coupling between the typically noisy digital circuitry and the sensitive analog circuitry can lead to poor
performance. The solution is to keep the analog circuitry
separated from the digital circuitry, and to keep the clock line
as short as possible.
www.national.com
16
Attempting to drive a high capacitance digital data bus.
The more capacitance the output drivers must charge for
each conversion, the more instantaneous digital current
flows through VDR and DRGND. These large charging current spikes can couple into the analog circuitry, degrading
dynamic performance. Adequate bypassing and maintaining
separate analog and digital areas on the pc board will reduce
this problem.
Additionally, bus capacitance beyond the specified 15 pF/pin
will cause tOD to increase, making it difficult to properly latch
the ADC output data. The result could, again, be an apparent
reduction in dynamic performance.
(Continued)
ence input pin and ground should be connected to a very
clean point in the ground plane. Traces for the input channels should be routed away from each other as much as
possible, with Ground plane between channels, to help minimize crosstalk.
7.0 DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
To achieve the best dynamic performance, the clock source
driving the CLK input must be free of jitter. Isolate the ADC
clock from any digital circuitry with buffers, as with the clock
tree shown in Figure 6. The gates used in the clock tree must
be capable of operating at frequencies much higher than
those used if added jitter is to be prevented.
The digital data outputs should be buffered (with 74ACQ541,
for example). Dynamic performance can also be improved
by adding series resistors at each digital output, close to the
ADC12QS065, which reduces the energy coupled back into
the converter output pins by limiting the output current. A
reasonable value for these resistors is 100Ω.
Best performance will be obtained with a differential input
drive, compared with a single-ended drive, as discussed in
Sections 1.3.1 and 1.3.2.
As mentioned in Section 5.0, it is good practice to keep the
ADC clock line as short as possible and to keep it well away
from any other signals. Other signals can introduce jitter into
the clock signal, which can lead to reduced SNR performance, and the clock can introduce noise into other lines.
Even lines with 90˚ crossings have capacitive coupling, so
try to avoid even these 90˚ crossings of the clock line.
Using an inadequate amplifier to drive the analog input.
As explained in Section 1.3, the capacitance seen at the
input alternates between 8 pF and 7 pF, depending upon the
phase of the clock. This dynamic load is more difficult to
drive than is a fixed capacitance.
If the amplifier exhibits overshoot, ringing, or any evidence of
instability, even at a very low level, it will degrade performance. A small series resistor at each amplifier output and a
capacitor at the analog inputs (as shown in Figure 4 and
Figure 5) will improve performance. The LMH6702 and the
LMH6628 have been successfully used to drive the analog
inputs of the ADC12QS065.
Also, it is important that the signals at the two inputs have
exactly the same amplitude and be exactly 180o out of phase
with each other. Board layout, especially equality of the
length of the two traces to the input pins, will affect the
effective phase between these two signals. Remember that
an operational amplifier operated in the non-inverting configuration will exhibit more time delay than will the same
device operating in the inverting configuration.
Operating with the reference pins outside of the specified range. As mentioned in Section 1.2, VREF should be in
the range of
0.8V ≤ VREF ≤ 1.2V
Operating outside of these limits could lead to performance
degradation.
Inadequate network on Reference Bypass pins (VRPA,
VRNA, VRMA, VRPB, VRNB and VRMB). As mentioned in
Section 1.2, these pins should be bypassed with 0.1 µF
capacitors to ground at VRMA and VRMB and with a series
RC of 1.5 Ω and 1.0 µF between pins VRPA and VRNA and
between VRPB and VRNB for best performance.
Using a clock source with excessive jitter, using excessively long clock signal trace, or having other signals
coupled to the clock signal trace. This will cause the
sampling interval to vary, causing excessive output noise
and a reduction in SNR and SINAD performance.

8.0 COMMON APPLICATION PITFALLS
Driving the inputs (analog or digital) beyond the power
supply rails. For proper operation, all inputs should not go
more than 100 mV beyond the supply rails (more than
100 mV below the ground pins or 100 mV above the supply
pins). Exceeding these limits on even a transient basis may
cause faulty or erratic operation. It is not uncommon for high
speed digital components (e.g., 74F and 74AC devices) to
exhibit overshoot or undershoot that goes above the power
supply or below ground. A resistor of about 47Ω to 100Ω in
series with any offending digital input, close to the signal
source, will eliminate the problem.
Do not allow input voltages to exceed the supply voltage,
even on a transient basis. Not even during power up or
power down.
Be careful not to overdrive the inputs of the ADC12QS065
with a device that is powered from supplies outside the
range of the ADC12QS065 supply. Such practice may lead
to conversion inaccuracies and even to device damage.
